Sophia Lacy is a junior on the cross country team. She is the daughter of David and Jennifer Lacy as well as big sister to Xander and Thea. Sophia is involved in basketball and also enjoys choir. In her free time Sophia likes to play video games and cook different types of dishes for her family and friends. She describes herself as hardworking, caring, ambitious, confident, and a little bit dorky. I have known Sophia since she was in elementary school, she is as funny and talkative as she was then. I am glad she is back attending school at White Oak. She adds an element of competitiveness and humor to the cross country team. Sophia enjoys running at the meets the most in cross country and the runner’s high after workouts. If there was a zombie apocalypse, she would want teammate Sophie Fisher on her team. Sophia writes, “she is very positive and smart. I think if we worked together we would get through it.” She takes a practical approach to be stranded on an island by herself. She would take a machete, a pot, and a good pair of shoes. Sophia would like to have a conversation with American Track and Field star and Olympian Sydney McLaughlin. Sydney inspires Sophia as a runner, young woman, and Christian. Sophia fits in well with her teammates. She is competitive, tough, and smart. She is a talented runner with potential for more growth. I am thrilled she’s back wearing the maroon and white.
